Question about Canon PowerShot A95 Digital Camera

1 Answer

Focus problems Hello, I just got the new A95 after enjoying the A80 for a few months. I'm experiencing two major problems, occurring especially when shooting in low-light conditions: a. The image displayed on the LCD screen is very dark, while in the A80 it would automatically become lighter after pressing half way. b. The auto focus won't work lower indicator blinks yellow). I have experienced these problems so intensely with my A80. What might be the problem?

There are settings in the menu to turn on the AIAF did you buy it used? maybe the settings need to be reset. If you have the manual there is a sequence you have to do to reset the camera to default settings. One thing to note this may or maynot be yoru problem. If the lighting is low and you have the correct settings the little box in the center will turn green. If they are not the box will turn yellow and beep a few times then give you a red number to indicate how much under exposed the image will be. When you need more light you should turn the flash on this is indicated by a lightning bolt on the display. If it is on then the image display will be corrected and then get brighter showing you an estimate of what it thinks the image will look like. Hope this helps

I have a Canon Powershot A95 and the screen is all pinkish purple. A friend told me there is a problem with this camera. Where can I find out if my camera is the one that can be replaced?
This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager, and is a known defect for your particular model camera.. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free if you live in the US, Canada, and a select few other countries. If you live outside the US, contact Canon support for your country to see if they'll still honor the advisory (some still will, especially if you stress you knowledge that this is a known defect of the camera). They may also include free shipping both ways (free shipping varies with countries). This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please see this link for more info.

Affected cameras with this problem include: A60, A70, A75, A80, A85, A95, A300, A310, S1 IS, S60, S400, S410, S500, SD100, SD110, IXUS V2/V3/300/400/430/500/II/IIs, IXY Digital 200a/300a/320/400/450/500/30/30a
